what do you do for yoour lo when it's cold outside? this is why I'm askingMy in-laws live with us right now and as we we re getting ready to leave, heard my fil tell my husband that that baby needed a coat. He said okay and left it at that. I went upstairs, put her ear warmer on and we left. 5 min later, I get a call from fil. "Did you put a coat on the baby?". me: "no. I put her ear warmer and two thick soft blankets over her.""why didn't you put a coat on her?"" because it's not safe in the car seat but she was well covered. Plus I didn't want her to overheat when we got in the car."then he basically chewed me out about how I need to put a coat on her because it's cold and she's going to get very sick if I don't. also "that thin little outfit and blamkets are not enough." dd has a cold but not from being outside, from them not telling us theyweren'tfeeling good and being around her. he all but yelled at me for about a minute. I just said ok, and we hung up. (then I complainedto my husband for a few minutes while looking it up to make sure I was not outdated as far as the coat info. )so...What's your take and how do you dress your lo when its cold? ** side note: I format it but it somehow it came out as 1 giant paragraph. Maybe it has something to do with being Mobile.

My bf's mom makes passive aggressive comments about my daughter needing a dämn snow suit and jacket in her infant car seat. She's old school and no matter how many times I tell her it's not safe in the car seat she just doesn't get it. But I know what's best for my daughter and do what I know to be the best option for us. We put a fleece blanket over the entire car seat while walking to/from the car and once in I pull it back and just cover her legs because she sweats balls in her car seat. If my bf's mom were overstepping like I believe your FIL was, I'd be having a very serious talk about whose child this is!

Ds goes in a sweater and a hat, I put a blanket on him and have a jolly jumper brand sleeping bag that covers the top of the car seat. Sometimes I will throw a blanket over top of that as well, but no jacket in the car seat.

btw, it unnerved me so I looked it up to make sure my feelings on the matter were founded. she was wearing a thick cotton footed one piece w long sleeves under her blankets and was just right, almost too warm in the car. amber, I probablyshould have stood up to him but it is literally the first time he's come at me like that. Most likely it will come up again and I will have to address it. sapphos...thanks for your input. do you have them wear tge layers while in the carseat? no snowsuit for us because dd is only 3 months an we live in ga, wh ere it's very cold but not freezing yet. I do have a snow suit for prolonged outings though.

Sounds like she needs more than a warm long sleeved sleeper and a blanket. We are in Southern California and went out tonight. Our 1 month old wore 2 layers under her fleece pajamas and then 2 blankets on top of that. I don't blame your fil for being worried especially if he reminded you before you left and you disregarded what he said.

thanks for the input. if we were outside for an extended period I might have added more but a much as she sweats, I felt she might have overheated with more layers. it was two thi k blankets. At least with blankets I can take them off. clothes are stuck until we can safely take her out and take them off

On a side note, I wonder if reaction too cold anything to do with where is a person is from. I was in Southern California a couple weeks ago and it was cool but not what I would consider cold and people were wearing coats when long sleeves or a light jacket was sufficient for me. Although I'm sure colder there now than when I was there

Layers as in a long sleave onezi, and warm clothes over the onzie. Hat, gloves, smart wool socks and shoes, and blanket in the car. Outside we put him in his one piece snow suit. It was recommended he always wear 1 more layer then we do.

A little OT but on the day before thanksgiving, we stayed the night with my MIL and FIL. Well in the middle of the night, they thought the girls would get cold so they jacked up the heater and we all roasted our a$$es off. I told DH that I won't stay there anymore cause the girls and I were so miserable and didn't get any sleep.

I think it would be wise to bring a coat wherever you go in case. Also, that one layer doesn't trap heat out of the car. It wouldn't hurt to add another. Especially if she is sick. I agree about not wearing the coat in the seat.

I would have dressed DS exactly like you did. He gets really hot in his carseat and I'm always afraid he's going to overheat. At least he can kick off a blanket or I can reach back and pull it off. And, yes, I think where you were raised or where you live has a lot to do with your reaction to cold weather. I grew up with cold winters in Oklahoma but DH grew up in Houston. He thinks 60 degrees is freezing cold and breaks out his coat, while I think it's quite pleasant with a sweater.

1. Thick coats aren't safe in car seats. 2. If she was only going to be "outside" between car and grocery store or whatever I think 2 thick blankets over her is fine. 3. Maybe do a onsie under a fleece footed jammie with triple roll socks pulled underneath 4. Your hubby needs to address how FIL spoke to you. I know he means well, but no need to be disrespectful.

My DD is 7 months but she's been out of the bucket seat since 3 months because she hated it. I put a cost on her because we live in New England. If she was still in her bucket seat (which would be amazing) I would just put a blanket on her and one of those car seat cozy things.

Thanks. I will definitely be doing the onesie underneath from now on. Don't really like the fleece Jamies for car rides because she always ends up sweating in them . She was outside for literally 8 to 15 seconds eat each time . door 2 van and then van 2 front door. As for my husband, I believe he will be saying something about it the next time especially if he hears it first hand. He's pretty good about sticking up for me are helping me stick up for myself as needed. We were heading to my parents house after a very long day so I didn't really want to burden him with it that night. But he really is the only 1 of his siblings who really stand up to their dad. Don't get me wrong, f I L is a good guy most of the time but he's not good at being told he's not right about something.
